After several weeks of receiving more than 10,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses a week, Montgomery County and the rest of the state will have thousands of doses less to administer after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was halted for a review.
On Tuesday, the county announced that it would pause use of the vaccine after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that all medical providers stop administering the one-dose vaccine. The agencies are trying to determine potential links between the vaccine and a few cases of rare blood clots.
